Default i sold my '98 A4 (in state sale, private) in 2000 and smog was required...

...so I'm guessing, yes you need to get it smogged.

New law doesn't require if not more than 4 model years old - a 2001 is 4 model years old, right?

Default model years are wierd ie buy 2003 (b6) in 2002-->

Not 100% but I think if we assume model year is not number of actual years passed but number of model years then you are close as you have 2001 and they are now selling 2006(?) cars. so that is 5 model years

however you only are 3 models versions B5, B6, B7

Default I sold my old 1.8TQ to a guy in ALaska...

I didn't have to smog the car. I think he may have to to register the car over there.

Default I believe model years only apply for original owner. Smog is required everytime a car changes owners

but hey... i could be wrong.

If it's out of state, it may not be required for you but he needs to do it if he wants to register it.
